RUSSIANS SEEK TO SPLIT ALLIED FOES Attack on Germans From Rear Is Believed Part of In- u. tent of Drive. 55,000 PRISONERS TAKEN Idea Is to Keep Germans Too Busy to Allow Them to Aid Austrlans v While Smashing Attack Is Being Delivered. CHICAGO, June 10. (Special.) Baa sett DIgby, in a special cable from Petrograd to the Chicago News, says: "The swift and successful advance of the Russian forces in Volnynia, ac cording to competent military opinion here, has for its primary object the delivering of a shattering blow at the Junction point of the German and Aus trian armies, thus badly disorganizing the enemy's arrangements in that re gion. "Since the early hours of Sunday morning, when massed batteries began a hurricane fire on the Austrlans. Gen eral Brussiloff's abundantly munitioned armies have penetrated deeply into the enemy's lines and taken 65,000 prison ers, including 1000 officers. The Aus trlans killed and wounded number at least another 50,000. These results show that the present battle is one of the fiercest and greatest in the entire war. ew Phase la Likely. "General Brussiloff is pouring divi sion after division of fresh troops into the deepening gap made by his guns. It is believed that another week will see the unfolding of the next phase In the Russian plan of offensive. "It probably consists in thrusting for ward a mass of troops to the north ward behind the German lines from the Pripet marshes toward the Gulf of Riga, while a second mass hurls itself against the Austrian m-.in army bar ring the way to Lemberg. "Thus both operations would be un der the most favorable circumstances, the Germans being kept too busy ex tricating their armies from the Pripet to the Baltic to allow them to spare brains and men to stiffen the admltted ' ly inferior Austrian troops, who are being subjected to a Verdun-like bat tering. Outlook Is More Favorable. "The outlook is more favorable for Russia than at any other time since its armies had to be withdrawn from the plains of Hungary in May of last year. "Reports are beginnin- to arrive from the south telling h -w, on Satur day night, a great crescendo of gun fire brought civilians from their beds for 25 miles behind the lines. There was a loud and continuous roar, which caused the windows to rattle. The next morning the telephone and telegraph services at the railroad, 20 miles from the batteries, were forced to cease be cause of the noise and vibration. "Later imperative calls came -'or more shells, while tralnloads of prison t. ers began to arrive t A be forwarded to the depots at Kiev. Among those cap tured were many German infantrymen, but the great majority of the prisoners were Austrlans." OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS PARIS, June 10. The official com munication issued by the War Of fice tonight reads: "In Belgium the destructive shelling by our artillery of the German fortifi cations in the sector of Dunes caused two fires, followed by explosions. "North of Verdun the artillery action was maintained actively on both sides of the Meuse, but there was no infantry action during the day. Our batteries took under their fire enemy columns north of the. village of DouaumonL "In tie Vosges, south of the Col de Ste Marie, German groups which at tempted to approach our lines after a violent bombardment were driven back into their trenches by our machine gun fire." British. 11. The British of issued at midnight RED CROSS WORKER HERE LONDON. June ficial statement says: "The chief center of activity has been about Tpres. where there has been a heavy artillery bombardment. Our trenches north of the Ypres-Comlnes Railway were heavily shelled from 1 to 3 o'clock this (Saturday) afternoon and hostile artillery has been active throughout the day- against our posi tions west of Hooge. There have been no infantry actions In this region. "Our artillery bombarded enemy po sitions about La. Boisselle. Arras and Loos. In the region of Souchez and Angres our trenches have been shelled heavily by artillery and trench mor tars. There has been some mining ac tivity on both sides at the Hohenzol lern redoubt and the quarries. "We exploded a mine at Cuinchy, considerably damaging ' the enemy trenches. We sprang two mines south of the Virestraat-Wytschaete road, causing slight damage to our trench b-ut damaging their trenches also. Fol lowing these explosions, hostile aero planes dropped bomibs ineffectively on our trenches. "Further reports regarding the raid by the Gloucester regiment south of Neuve Chapelle indicate that consider able loss was inflicted on the enemy and that much damage was done his trenches by a detachment of Royal Engineers, who accompanied the raiders." Russian. PETROGRAD. June 10. Today's offi cial statement says: On the western front troops under General Brussiloff continued the of fensive and their pursuit of the enemy. Fighting with the enemy rearguards. our troops have crossed the River Styr aoove and below Lutsk. The forces which crossed the river are pursuing tne enemy, who is endeavoring to hold his position in the rear. In Gallcla, northeast of Tarnopol. in the regions of Gliadki' and Tsebroff, heavy fighting is proceeding for the possession of heights which have changed hands several times. -oeigian armored motor cars are lending most useful assistance to our troops. "The piercing of the enemy front in the region of the Stripa has resulted in our occupation of a fortified posi tion on the east bank of the river. At dawn today our troops entered Buczacz and, developing the offensive along the Dnelster River, carried the village of Scianka. In the village of Potok Zlota we seized a large artillery park and large quantities of shells. The offensive continues. "During yesterday's fighting we cap tured 97 officers. 5500 men and 11 guns. making the total up to the present 12401 officers, about 71,000 men. 84 guns, ibt machine guns. 63 bomb mortars and a large quantity of other war material. "At other points of Dvinsky fronts there were artillery duels. During the night of the 8th German bomb-throwing artillery was active against differ ent sectors of the Dvinsky positions. In the region of the village of Krevo. south of Smorgon. the enemy attempt ed several times to approach our trenches. He was driven back each time by our troops. "Caucasus front In the region of Treblzond our forces dislodged the enemy from some positions. A. Turk ish counter-attack was repulsed with heavy losses to the enemy." Italian. ROME, via "London. June '10. The official statement issued by the War Office tonight says:- "After the grave defeat and enormous loss suffered June 8, the enemy yester day confined his activity to a violent cannonading. Our troops replied at sev eral points, causing the appearance of masses of the enemy, who were caught by the fire of our batteries. "We made some progress in the Upper Arsa Valley in the sector of Mount Kovegno, also at the bottom of the Astico Valley and the western slopes of the , Monte Cengio. In the Upper Boite and Ansel Valleys our troops continue their methodical ad vance. Along the rest of the front to the sea there were the customary artillery duels and minor raids by parties of our troops. "Enemy aeroplanes dropped bombs on varous places on the Venetian plain. Seven persons were wounded altogether and slight damage was done. "One of our aeroplane squadrons bombarded enemy camps and defenses in the Assa and Astico Valley. Our machines returned unharmed."

WH0LE FLEET ENGAGED THE Russian offensive In Volhynla and Galicia is daily assuming new phat-es and marking new ground won by General Bruslloff's troops. I The Russians are continuing to push westward from Lutsk, after crossing the River Styr, fighting rear-guard ac tions with the Austrlans as they retire. In Galicia, northeast of Tarnapol, the Austrian defensa appears to be stiffen ing, heavy fighting being reported there- for heights which have changed hands several times. Farther south the Russians are Hearing the Zlota Llpa River, from which the Austrlans ad vanced in their drive of last September. At Verdun, the German War Office announces further progress northeast of the fortress, where ground has been gained southwest of Foft Douaumont and .west of Fort Vaux. In taking a field work in the latter sector, more than 500 men and 22 machine guns were captured by the Germans, who announce that since June 8 their cap tures have totalled more than 1500 men. The British Admiralty announces that the cruiser Hampshire, on which Field . Marshal Lord Kitchener and members of his staff were lost, was sunk by the explosion of a mine. All hope, the Admiralty says, has been abandoned that any except the 12 men who landed from a raft were saved from the cruiser. CANADIAN LOSS BIG Dr. M. J.

Talks with officers who have been relieved of duty in front-line trenches show that the battle in which the Canadians were engaged June 2 and 3 was the bloodiest on both sides that has been fought on the British front since the battle of Loos. The Germans attacked in stronger force than was at first supposed, evi dently having decided to use their Verdun tactics in the Tpres salient. Five hours of artillery fire from guns of every calibre .and from trench mor tars crossfire as well as frontal fire being directed at the salient angle where a watery subsoil makes dugouts Impossible utterly leveled the trenches at some points. Against the German curtains of fire the British guns sent their curtain of fire. Cfraau Heavily Equipped. The German infantry which survived the British fire rushed into the breeches after the bombardment had ceased. They had full packs with blankets. each carried a flask of rum and one of coffee, a pocket electric flashlight and full rations, evidently having prepared for a big advance. When they pressed on, still confident that their guns had blazed a way, they were checked by the fire of the Canadians, who unflinch ingly stuck to the support trerthes under a shower of shells that lasted from 8:30 o'clock in the mining until 11 o'clock that night, when re-inforce- ments came and a counter attack was begun. Tales abound of the heroism of small units at points where the battle was most violent. At one place on the front line where the trenches had been smashed to the level of th ground, the surviving Canadians rushed out to face the overwhelming German charge and die. Men Fight Hand to Hand. At another place, a square pit In the earth. Colonel Shaw and 70 or 80 men, who were surrounded, fought the Ger mans hand to hand without offering to capitulate. Colonel Shaw was killed, and the Major who succeeded to the command told the men remaining to escape if they could. Two succeeded in doing so. The 'last they saw of the Major he had fired his revolver and then thrown it in the face of a Ger man, grappling with him before they went down. Several Americans were among the Canadians. A company that held a vital point of support, with aid unable to reach it because of the curtain of shell-fire, stuck gamely to its post all day under the command of a Captain formerly of the Seventieth Regiment of New York. who was killed. The attack finally broke under the rifles of a battalion in a maple copse.

Home Phone: A 2112 Tribute Paid to Bravery of Enemy Sailors Destruction of Ships by Inferno of Shell Kire Graphically Described. BERLIN, June 10. (From an Asso ciated Press Staff Correspondent, by Wireless to Sayville, N. Y.) A graphic story of the naval battle off the Jut land coast, replete with tributes to the bravery of England's sailors and to the coolness and devotion of the German bluejackets in the memorable engage ment, has been given to the Associated Press correspondent by a high sea of ficer of the German Admiralty staff. This officer, although not present at the battle had access to all the reports and now has returned to Berlin, after two days spent among the officers of the high sea fleet. - His description is most interesting where it touches upon the points on which the German and British recitals differ sharply as re gards the respective losses of the two fleets and the British contention of "a German flight" from the field. Loss of Warsplte Reasserted. To the correspondent's first question. What are the facts about the War pite?" the J)lg British battleship. whose loss the Germans affirm and the British deny, the officer replied: The Warspite certainly was lost. We have this on not only known ob servations, but, what is more impor tant, the testimony of British sailors. The first confirmation came when a destroyer of our third flotilla fished out of the water a sailor from the Brit ish destroyer Turbulent, who said he himself had observed the sinking of the Warspite. Later two other sailors gave the same account,' although the three were never together after the rescue and each was questioned sep arately. This should be conclusive." The correspondent asked how the in dividual ships were destroyed. 'It is difficult to give definite de tails in all cases." the officer respond ed, "owing to the ranges, the thick weather, and the fact that few officers on board a ship in action have the time or the opportunity for such de tails. Here, however, is the story of the destruction of one of the British battle cruisers, probably the Queen Mary, or the Indefatigable, as told to me by an officer who witnessed it. Cruiser Hit by Three Salvos. "It was during an early stage of the action of the battle cruisers that , my friend saw the warship struck square ly in quick succession by three full salvos of heavy shells. The gray sil houette, lowon the water line, quiv ered from the shock as the first two salvos hit. At the third, the cruiser seemed literally to crumble up and bend amidships. The bow and the stern rose and - then the whole ship was lifted bodily out of water. A terrific explosion had blotted her out and she sank, leaving no trace behind. The destruction of several other cruisers occurred similarly. A shell would reach the magazine; then would come a mighty puff of smoke and flames and the brief death agony of the warcraft would be over almost before one began to notice It. One of the most thrilling episodes was the destruction of a big four funneled armored cruiser which ran squarely under the guns of our battle ships during the night and was anni hilated within four minutes by our dreadnoughts steaming in column. In pitchy darkness, witn lights out. the cruiser approached at Tight angles un der full speed, evidently unaware of the presence of the squadron. She was sighted at a distance of about 1500 yards and received a full broadside from the leading German ship, the Westfalen. " Escaping Ships Hard Hit. "She ran on another 500 yards and then turned like a wounded hare, but nstead of making away steered a course parallel to the column 1000 yards distant, receiving the broad sides of three successive ships. The cruiser, literally covered with shells. was unable to fire a single shot in reply, and blew up opposite the fourth ship. 'The British claim that the surviv ing units of their battle fleet were not materially damaged and were ready to take Bea again after coaling is ab surd. The greater part of the daylight action was fought with ships running along parallel lines and where so many ships were destroyel it is obvious that the others did not escape unscathed, lor our fire was not concentrated on any particular ship, as it was necessary to keep all the ships covered quickly so as to Interfere with deliberation in aim. "We are perfectly sure that the grand fleet cannot, as the British assert, go to sea virtually unimpaired in strength for a long time. It has been bard hit in its material - and suffered colossal losses in its personnel. We estimate conservatively that the British lost 7nno mfn drowned or killed bv shell fire, losses of the most difficult sort to replace. Whole German Fleet Encaged. "A British Admiralty ' representative declared to your London correspondent, and Winston Churchill repeats the declaration, that the British were suc cessful because they broke up our un dertaking. Y hat undertaking? Is question I would like to ask. Do they imagine that we went out with our en tire available force of battleships, bat tle cruisers, etc., to shoot sparrows, or, that if we were planning a new cruiser raid upon the English coast we -went up to the Norwegian coast as a starting polntr No, we went norm to una tne enemy which we knew was there. We found him. met the bulk of the British grand fleet in a square stand-up fight. Inflicted the heavy loss of one of his most modern superdreadnoughts. three battle cruisers.' a small navy of armored cruisers, scouts and destroyers, and paid a comparatively low price for our victory. Then the childish excuse that the British main fleet was not engaged and that we ran to avoid meeting. The facts Bpeak for themselves. Germany has only 19 dreadnoughts, including four of the Posen class, which are only half dreadnoughts, with 11-inch arma ment. All of these, except one battle ship, which is undergoing boiler re pairs, were present and engaged. The British had at the outset of the war 25 dreadnaughts, to which have been added five of the Queen Elizabeth class and five of the Resolution class, launched and completed during the war, a total of 35 dreadnoughts. "Twenty-five of these, including five of the Queen Elizabeth class, were en gaged in the battle. The presence with the German fleet of a squadron or the Pommern class, slow 18-knot ships, demolished completely the contention that the British were unable to bring on a general action had they desired to do so.

Our officers believed th fact that he did not do so was be cause the British were so shaken (not' demoralized, for the British are brave. good soldiers) by their losses ana aim age, and particularly by the Incessant torpedo attacks during the night, that they were unwilling to continue ine action. In this connection, several British destroyers on Krlday night hailed a vessel off the Swedish coast and asked where they were. "An incidental butylmportanl erieci of our victory is lhat it will interrupt the building of British commercial shipping for months, as the British yards will be for a long time com pletely occupied in matting repairs 10 warships. "Summing up. one of the alms of the naval strategy Is to Inflict the heaviest loss possible and keep one s own loss to a minimum. We are successful in this, despite the British attempts to magnify our losses. The German re Dort of our losses is complete. I. my self, saw all the battleships of the aiser class, of which the British pre tended to have destroyed two, safe in harbor." SILVER RIVER IS REACHED Sir.
